News Flash: Record Labels Fake YouTube Views

by admin on 12/30/2012 · 8 comments

Thanks to services like Fiverr and YouLikeHits YouTube has discovered the big three record labels, Universal, Sony/BMG and RCA, have been adding false views to their artists videos. In response YouTube has gone ahead and shaved the views from the labels – Sony/BMG dropped from 850 million views to 2.3 million, RCA dropped from 159 million to 120 million and Universal lost more than 1 billion views, ending up at under 6 billion.

Are you surprised? No big deal?

Naw, when Mac miller was buzzing in like 2010-2011 I’d watch his videos and they’d be crazy…surpassed multimill and shit. That kid is okay at best, but I couldn’t see him popping like that so early. This is very believable.

Do you get paid after a certain amount of views?

What I want to know is the exact buybacks for all YMCMB & MMG recordings cause there is no way they are selling all those records.

this isn’t really news to me, but ok. Views create the illusion of interest, interest gets people to fall in line, as sheep do. Labels exploit these avenues because they can & because these tactics seem to work. Shrug.
